| Abstract | The growing use of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NP) triggered an increasing interest in their environmental fate and possible ecotoxicological impacts. To investigate the potential risk of Ag-NP to soil organisms, the springtail Folsomia candida was exposed to Ag-NP (reported diameter size 3-8 nm) and AgNO3 in Lufa 2.2 natural soil for 28 days to determine effects on survival and reproduction. Also, the kinetics of uptake and elimination of Ag were studied for F. candida exposed in Lufa 2.2 soil to Ag-NP (at 168 mg Ag/kg dry soil) and AgNO3 (at 30 and 60 mg Ag/kg dry soil). AgNO3 was toxic with an LC50 was 284 mg Ag/kg dry soil for effects on survival and EC10 and EC50 values of 47.6 and 99.5 mg Ag/kg dry soil, respectively for the effect on reproduction. These values did correspond with porewater concentrations of 0.801, 0.042 and 0.082 mg Ag/l, respectively. No effects on survival and reproduction of Ag-NP were observed up to 673 mg Ag/kg dry soil, although porewater concentration was similar to the EC50 for AgNO3. Exposure to both Ag forms caused a fast uptake of Ag, but the Ag elimination rate was significantly higher for Ag-NP than for AgNO3. Bioaccumulation factor was higher for AgNO3 (on average 5.64) than for Ag-NP (1.12). These findings indicate that silver ions are more toxic than Ag-NP and have a higher potential to accumulate in F. candida. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
